PELCO® Pyramid-Tip Mold

Excellent for sample preparation of specimens which are difficult to orient. The
tips easily and quickly attach to plastic cylinders. When tip is mounted it is identical
in dimensions to a BEEM® 00 size capsule. Blue silicone rubber.
Maximum temperature: 218°C (425°F).
See our Cyanoacrylate Fast-Glue and Mounting Cylinders.

PELCO® 3mm Square Face Mold

for embedding larger specimens, uses less resin

With this mold a larger specimen may be placed in a wider tip area resulting in a
larger initial section. Once solidified the block may be glued to the end of a plexiglas
rod or other holding device. (See
Mounting Cylinders.) Blue silicone rubber.
Maximum temperature: 218°C (425°F).

The Spurr Kit gives excellent penetration for tough materials particularly in the studies of botanical, mineral and
other hard biological specimens. When the mixture is kept at room temperature for 24 hours its viscosity will
increase to 140cP, as is the case with other resins. When fully formulated, the Spurr’s resin will store
in a deep-freeze for two months and at room temperature for two days. Curing is done at 70ºC for about 8
hours (see our Microwave system for significant time saving during epoxy processing).

Conductive Adhesives for SBEM

PELCO® Conductive Liquid Silver Paint

a reliable conductive ground path for SEM specimens
Air drying silver paint to make effective ground. Curable at room temperature and has
high adhesion to any material. Surfaces do not have to be prepared prior to application
and will adhere to such materials as polymer (phenolic) boards, ceramic, glass, metal,
plastic and fiberglass. It should be mixed well with a spatula before using. RoHS compliant.

The container is offered in two sizes (15g and 30g) and is provided with an applicator
brush. Silver flake grain size is an average of 80%, <1.0µm. Sheet resistance
is 0.02 ohms per square @ 1 mil (0.001” = 0.025mm) thickness and is a function of
the coating. Service temperature range is -40°C to 200°C.
Use #16021 gold/silver thinner/extender to dilute when needed.

PELCO® SBEM Pin Stub Vacuum Desiccator

The durable and versatile PELCO® SBEM Pin Stub Vacuum
Desiccator holds up to 12 standard ø12.7mm (1/2") pin stubs, or two ø25mm
(1") or 1 up to ø50mm (2") SEM pin stubs. Storage under vacuum eliminates
contamination or dust. Allows for a 10mm (3/8") specimen height on the pin stubs. The use
of durable, non-outgassing, blue anodized aluminum and Silicon O-rings makes it suitable for
pumping down to 10-3 mbar. Capable of holding vacuum
for many weeks. Metal vacuum valve with PTFE shaft seal. Use a small vacuum pump to evacuate.
Vacuum connection for pump-down is a 1/4" (6.35mm) barb fitting.

Keeps samples and calibration standards contamination free

Prevents oxidization of sensitive samples

Holds pin mounts secure with O-rings

Acrylic clear disc for easy locating of samples

Ideal for storing, transporting and shipping samples and calibration standards
